Is this the same Virginia College that has certifications campuses all over the US?

MONROE, La. (KNOE) - The University of Louisiana at Monroe has been approved for a new medical school.
Wednesday, the Louisiana Board of Regents approved a license for the Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine to be constructed on the ULM campus, according to board member Dr. Charles McDonald.
They plan to build a 100-thousand square foot building on the ULM campus, with a groundbreaking expected in September. The board says construction will be privately funded.
They plan to offer their first class in the fall of 2020.
Dr. McDonald, who introduced the motion, says this is one of the biggest things to happen to ULM and for our community.

Probably named after a financial benefactor of the university.
On another note, though, these osteopathy schools seem to be popping up at a good clip lately.

I'm very interested to see where these students get their clinical training.

That’s good news. This is huge for Monroe and ULM. Louisiana needs another med school so bad. Baton Rouge really needs one. LSUHSC should be in BR not NOLA. Not everyone wants to up and move to Nola for med school. Monroe is a good place for med school no distractions like NOLA has.

Is there a reason all “new” med schools are osteopathic? Is there an easier point of entry, less regulation? All of the D.O.’s I know are solid, but I feel like the osteopathic med school associated with smaller universities and tech schools are the equivalent of the carribbian med schools from back in the day.

It's not going to mean anything in the long run if the students going there don't stick around in underserved areas of Louisiana in primary care fields. That is the where the need is. Given DO schools are generally extremely expensive, one would think this is less likely, but most DOs end up in primary care fields. Hopefully these grads will stick around given LSU-NO and Tulane (although mostly from NY-Cali) graduates are leaving the state at record rates over the past few years.

Osteopaths study bones and what not while mds basically just learn medicine. My cousin sees an osteopath for his fibromyalgia and he’s great about letting my cousin get more medicine when he has a flare up or whatever

I think that settles the debate. Until further notice ULM can now carry the UL title and ULL has to return to using the ULL title

Osteopaths have never been big in the south.
They're generally okay - do residencies with M.D.s I wouldn't use one, but they should be okay. Still, why not just run one of those primary care only medical schools?
They better not teach that cranial manipulation hokey.

I want to read the lease between Virgina College and the Univeristy of Louisiana - Monroe for the land.

No but it is the same one that opened a branch campus in Auburn a couple of years ago.

This makes no sense
Not when there is an md program 90 minutes away
Baton Rouge needs an md, od, pharm d, ot,and pt school

I attended ULM and can say for certain this scares the shite out of me.
Will not look for any doc who received is education at ULM. And if I see it on his/her wall, I'm out.

I have experience with the auburn location. Very nice building/resources with a lot of Out of state kids that are expected to stay in the the area. This will be a good thing for Monroe.
